What it is

Ground beef is a meat product made from beef that has been coarsely or finely ground. It is typically made from trimmings and cuts of beef, such as chuck, round, and sirloin. The fat content can vary widely depending on the cut of beef used.

Why it's used

Ground beef is a versatile ingredient used in a wide variety of dishes. It is commonly used to make hamburgers, meatballs, meatloaf, tacos, and pasta sauces. Its texture and flavor make it a popular choice for many home-cooked meals.

Health notes

Ground beef is a source of protein, iron, and other nutrients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers beef to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated beef and its components. High intake of red meat, including ground beef, has been associated with certain health concerns in some studies, while other research suggests benefits from its nutrient content.

Allergen info

Beef is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
